No admission or parking fee. Individual activities run $3-$6 each; an all-day pass bundling most attractions is $24. Pony rides $5, weekends only, 60 lb weight limit. October night add-ons: Haunted Treasure Forest Hayride $13, Cosmic Cornmaze $8. Under 2 free on select activities.

Free to walk in. Your spend here is whatever you choose — pumpkins, food, and any paid activities. That makes it a low-risk stop if you are not sure how long the kids will last.

Our take

Yahoo Farm uses the pricing structure we generally like best: nothing at the gate, nothing to park, and then you buy what you actually do. Individual activities are $3 to $6. An all-day pass bundling most attractions is $24. That means the farm works for two completely different visits — the twenty-minute stop that costs a fiver, and the full day that costs a hundred for a family — and you get to choose which one you are having.

The arithmetic is worth doing in the car park rather than at the window. With activities at $3 to $6, a $24 pass needs roughly four to eight activities per person before it pays for itself. Two adults and two children on passes is $96, which is more than most all-inclusive farms in north Georgia charge. If your realistic plan is a hayride, the corn maze and the corn cannon, buying those individually is meaningfully cheaper. If your children will genuinely do everything, the pass is the right call. What you should not do is buy four passes reflexively because it feels tidier.

The free things are actually free

The Sunday 2pm pumpkin hunt costs nothing, and neither does entry or parking. For a family with a toddler whose cooperation is not guaranteed, that combination is worth more than any attraction list — you can drive up, take the photographs, walk out after fifteen minutes and have spent nothing.

Two traps in the small print

The pony rides are $5, weekends only, and carry a 60-pound weight limit. That is a specific and fairly low ceiling, and it is the sort of detail that turns into a scene at the rail if a child has been promised a pony ride on the drive up. Weigh the expectation before you set it.

The other is the October night programme. The four extended Saturdays — the 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th — run to 10pm and add the Haunted Treasure Forest Hayride at $13 and the Cosmic Cornmaze at $8. Those are described separately from the $24 pass, which is said to cover most attractions. Whether most includes them is not something we can confirm, so ask before you assume a $24 wristband gets you a $21 evening.

The Georgia part

The pumpkins here are grown on site. That is a real distinction and it is what north Georgia farming above the fall line makes possible — you are picking a crop, not selecting from stock that arrived on a lorry. Pickens County in October delivers the version of autumn the season is supposed to have, which is lovely at noon and genuinely cold at nine at night. If you are staying for one of the late Saturdays, dress for the second of those, not the first.

One planning caveat to close on. The farm has published its opening day and its four special Saturdays but no closing date for 2026. Assume the season runs into early November at the farm’s discretion and pumpkin supply, and ring ahead if you are going late.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

A Sunday, if you want the free pumpkin hunt at 2pm, or one of the four October Saturdays the farm stays open to 10pm — the 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th — if you want the night programme. Opening day is September 19, 2026 with regular hours of 10am to 6pm. No closing date has been published for 2026, so a November trip is a gamble. Pony rides run at weekends only.

How long to budget

As long or as short as you like, which is the point of the pricing model. Ninety minutes and two activities is a legitimate visit here; so is a full day on the $24 pass.

Crowds

The four extended October Saturdays are the busiest, since the night events only run on those dates. Weekday and Sunday visits during the daytime are the calm end. Pickens County sits on the Atlanta-to-mountains route, so late October weekends bring leaf-season through-traffic on top of farm traffic.

Parking

Free, which the farm states explicitly. Assume a field surface, so flat closed shoes and an eye on the forecast after rain.

What to bring

  • A plan and a budget, because per-activity pricing is where families lose control of a day
  • Serious layers for any of the four late-Saturday nights — north Georgia in October gets genuinely cold once the sun is down, which is not the state most Georgians dress for
  • A torch for the walk back to the car after a 10pm close
  • Closed shoes for the corn maze and the hay maze

How to spend less here

  • There is no admission fee and no parking fee, so a visit can cost as little as nothing — the free Sunday 2pm pumpkin hunt is a real free activity, not a loss leader with strings
  • Do the maths on the $24 all-day pass before you buy it. With activities at $3 to $6, the pass breaks even at roughly four to eight activities per person depending on which ones you pick. Under that, pay as you go
  • The pass covers most attractions but the October night add-ons are priced separately — the Haunted Treasure Forest Hayride at $13 and the Cosmic Cornmaze at $8. Ask at the gate whether your pass includes them before assuming it does
  • Children under 2 are free on select activities

Who it suits

Good for

  • Families who want the option of a short cheap visit — with no gate fee and no parking fee, walking in and buying one hayride is a perfectly reasonable outing
  • Anyone who wants a pumpkin that actually grew where they are standing, since the patch is grown on site
  • Budget-conscious groups, because the Sunday 2pm pumpkin hunt is free
  • Older children and teenagers on the four October Saturday nights, when the haunted hayride and the Cosmic Cornmaze run

Skip it if

You want everything included in one price without doing arithmetic. The per-activity model rewards people who plan and punishes people who say yes to whatever the children point at. Also skip the pony ride if your child is over 60 pounds — there is a weight limit and it will be enforced at the rail, not at the car.

Common questions

How much does Yahoo Farm cost?

Nothing to enter and nothing to park. Individual activities run $3 to $6 each, and an all-day pass bundling most attractions is $24. Pony rides are $5, weekends only. The October night events are extra: $13 for the Haunted Treasure Forest Hayride and $8 for the Cosmic Cornmaze.

Is the all-day pass worth it?

Only if you are staying a while. At $24 against $3 to $6 per activity, the pass needs roughly four to eight activities per person to pay for itself. For a family of four that is $96 committed up front, so if you are there for two hours the individual pricing is the better deal.
